With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16
There is an opposition in all things, and there are all kinds of life circumstances that can erode our faith.
What are some "flaming arrows" that might come in our direction? Doubt and fear, sadness and depression? Temptations, both to the body and the spirit? What about financial and employment problems, marriage problems, and health problems?
All these and more might be the "flaming arrows" spoken of in the Bible. But we must remember we have faith as our shield? A shield is a versatile and effective means of defense in any battle we might face. Our faith, if it is built upon Christ and his teachings, can defend us against any onslaught.
Don your armor today--and don't forget your shield of faith!
